IMHO, cygwin may be use to remotely launch windows programs, whatever=20
they are, they may also need all the others "legacy" windows environment=20
variable, so, they should not go.

variables like :
COMMONPROGRAMFILES
COMMONPROGRAMFILES
PROGRAMFILES

are not user aware, so why you don't want to keep them ?

also :

NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER
PROCESSOR_LEVEL
PROCESSOR_REVISION

are less important but may be useful un one way or another,
at least NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS.

why don't you remap TMP and TEMP to the target user's one ?

PS : why don't you fix patch instead ?
